Weekend Workshop with David Spicer
9 and 10 August
Caroola Farm, Mulloon NSW (between Bungendore and Braidwood)
Part of our Farm Establishment Series of Practical Workshops
David Spicer’s approach to teaching comes from his proven practicality, having over 15 years’ experience in permaculture design and education working and teaching with Bill Mollison at the Permaculture Institute Tasmania and Geoff Lawton; managing director of the Permaculture Research Institute Australia at Zaytuna farm.
David’s courses are 30% theory and 70% practical.
Whether you are after traditional or modern fencing, standard or electric, movable or fixed, this course is for you. Learn about your options and what you need for your property. Get hands on experience that will enable you to take control of your own fencing requirements and therefore better manage different stock, tree and wildlife systems.
David is great at helping you make sense of what seems complex and delivering it in a simple, practical way. Don’t miss out on this great weekend course which will give you the confidence you need to work out solutions to your own fencing problems.
